Strangest Brew

The Wizard of Odds gives us a link to the Strangest Brew and the rest...is ystsj asdgaj;lj agaj;ladjga jgnbadbm.gadjgl;aj;aja;

Huh, awesome. We mean, the rest is just awesome.

Banging Bill

Is there a Bill Belichick sex tape? According to a former team beat writer, the answer is yes.

Tom Casale, who covered the Pats on Patriots Football Weekly, is throwing Belichick and the rest of the team under the bus in his final report, entitled My Last Day As A New England Patriot.

Some other notable points:

Teddy Bruschi, who comes across as a likable guy, is an asshole and his teammates hate him.

Rodney Harrison, despite his dirty play, is actually a nice guy and the real leader of the team (But he still can't knock the ball off David Tyree's helmet).

In Casale's opinion, Corey Dillon is 'the most miserable piece of shit you would ever want to encounter' and will end up in jail.

Randy Moss is the coolest dude on the planet who dicks around with practice squaders.

To Hold You Over For the Weekend

Just another reason why Charles Barkley is the coolest dude on the planet.

Jobbed: Long Wang

With the last name Wang, is there any first name that will not make others laugh at you?

With a name like Long Wang, you better be tough.

Meet Wang, a 157 pound wrestler at UNC-Chapel Hill. In Korean, his name must mean, 'master of Greco-Roman wrestling.'

At least his first name isn't Harry.

Jobber: Stanley Kobierowski

A Rhode Island man was arrested early Tuesday with an astonishing blood-alcohol content.

Stanley Kobierowski, 34, was pulled over on I-95 in Providence after swerving into a highway message board. Obviously drunk, police arrested Kobierowski and administered a Breathalyzer, where he blew a 0.491.

According to the health department, a BAC of 0.30 is classified as a stupor, 0.4 is comatose, and 0.5 is considered fatal.

Sloth, AKA Jay Gibbons, has been given another chance.

The Milwaukee Brewers signed Gibbons, who was playing independent ball with the Long Island Ducks.

After being named in the Mitchell Report, Gibbons sent a letter to every major league team apologizing for his actions and begging for a job. Gibbons continues to prove that mediocre ballplayers that cannot play defense and hit .206 with little power can still find work in the major leagues.

It sucks when an athlete actually speaks his/her mind. When that rarest of rare events actually occurs, they are usually subjected to tremendous media scrutiny. With this happens, I take a big deep breath and mutter to myself, "This is why newspapers are dying and the most exciting sports quote I'll ever read is, 'We're a team and we'll take it one game at a time.'" It blows. Thank god for Carson Palmer.

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback ripped into THE Ohio State University. He joned on the fans, their program, their inability to win big games (the 2003 Fiesta Bowl was fixed), and predicted a slaughter at the hands of USC, Palmer's Alma mater. This wouldn't be a problem if, you know, the Bengals weren't backed by the same fans Palmer just shit on. This is why athletes can never truly speak their minds. It sucks because Palmer is right on the money (see picture).

College Football Preview - 7 LSU

College football preseason rankings, in our opinion, don't mean squat. Each year, four or five teams fail miserably to live up to expectations and two or three teams, like Kansas and Missouri last season, come out of nowhere to compete for the national title. Wanting to contribute to useless preseason hype, Jobbed and Frustrated will produce its first preseason college football rankings, starting with the top ten teams in the country.

__________________________

#7 - LSU

The defending champs come in at number 7. LSU has reached 'reload' status, where they are talented enough to compete for conference and national championships with a young roster. This season, their depth and inexperience will be put to the test. They are breaking in a new quarterback, running back, numerous spots along the defensive line and secondary, and defensive coordinator. If anyone can put together a solid season with a new group of core players, it's Les Miles and his 'damn strong football team.' Have a great day.

It wasn't as harmful as Disco Demolition Night in Chicago or Ten Cent Beer Night in Cleveland, but the 1998 Mariners - Royals 'Turn Ahead The Clock' Game in Seattle was one of the worst promotional gimmicks ever created. Paul Lukus, author of ESPN Page 2's Uni-Watch, gives insight and analysis of that memorable, life-changing, visual disaster.

Jobber: Dan Uggla

Dan Uggla proves even all-stars can be jobbers.

Uggla turned in maybe the worst all-star performance of all-time Tuesday night in Yankee Stadium.

The Marlins second baseman, making his second all-star game appearance, went 0-4 at the plate with three strikeouts and an inning ending double play, and committed 3 errors in the field. The National League went on to lose in 15 innings, their 12th consecutive mid-summer classic defeat.

When the Cubs, Diamondbacks, or Phillies have to travel to Boston, Los Angeles, or Minnesota for games 1,2,6, and 7 of the World Series in October, they can thank Uggla.

Jobbed: Da U

The Wizard of Odds takes a look back at the controversial 2003 Fiesta Bowl.

Don't remember that one? This is where Miami got jobbed out of the national title by a phantom pass interference call in overtime against Ohio State. Since that game, the programs have gone in opposite directions: Miami is now an also ran in the ACC, while Ohio State is a perennial BCS team...where they go to the championship game and get demolished by an SEC opponent.

Jobber: Jose Canseco

Washed up baseball player Jose Canseco was knocked out in the first round by former NFL return specialist Vai Sikahema in a charity boxing match held Saturday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey.

Despite a huge disadvantage in size and reach, 6’4 265 to 5’9 205, Sikahema connected on a devastating left hook, which, as Chris Tucker would say, knocked Canseco ‘the fuck out!’



Sikahema, a tough Philly guy who spent his NFL days with the Eagles and Cardinals, had some humbling words for Canseco after the fight.

"When you step inside the square circle," Sikahema said, according to
the Press of Atlantic City, "don't ever think that your size is going to
matter because in Philadelphia, we will chop you down."

Sikahema was asked if there were any surprises.

"That it didn't finish in the first 30 seconds," he said.

Only in Chicago

...can a seven-year old drink at a baseball game. I know it's just a father's one-time/special occasion gift to his pre-pubescent son, but it's still pretty damn funny.

Ironically, later that game, a fan got doinked in the dome by a ball.

From Yahoo's account of the incident, it sounds like the beer sipping boy may have been the victim.

Doctors and family members say a 7-year-old boy who fractured his skull when
he was struck by a foul ball at Wrigley Field was recovering and expected to
live.

Dominic DiAngi of suburban Frankfort was sitting behind the Cubs dugout
Thursday afternoon during a game between the Chicago Cubs and Cincinnati Reds
when a foul ball off the bat of Cubs pitcher Ted Lilly struck him in the
head.

Jobber: Brett Favre

Jobbed and Frustrated hates four sports related topics: Barry Bonds, Steroids in baseball, SpyGate, and Brett Favre. To the mainstream media, especially ESPN, these topics are discussed - passionately - daily. Here, it is protocol to avoid these topics at all costs. Breaking with policy, we will address the Brett Favre situation.

________________________

Brett Favre, looking to add to his all-time interception record, asked the Packers for his release so he can play somewhere else.

The Packers, in my opinion, are handling this just right. For the past five years, Favre has kept the Packers hostage over his status, will he retire or will he come back? When he 'retired' in March, the Packers moved on. Brett should, too. Aaron Rodgers has waited long enough for his opportunity (in the green room and on the field).

Do the Packers really need Favre? I don't know. Surprising everyone, they finished 2007 13-3 and were a stupid Favre interception away from the Super Bowl (pictured). Green Bay's last two playoff appearances have ended with idiotic Favre interceptions (see 2003 Wild Card game in Philly). Is Favre the face of the franchise? Yes. Do the Packers have a better chance of going to the Super Bowl with Favre in the lineup? Yes. But the Packers need to move on, hand the keys over to Rodgers, and build upon their 2007 success without Favre.

KSK asks, 'What Would Jesus Say about Favre?"

Jobbed: Nick Johnson, Fat Stuntman

Don't call his mom! Sack up and take it like a man, Nick.

Paula Creamer, who shot a 60 during the first round of the Jamie Farr Owens Corning Classic, is silly.

Despite her hotness and sweet golf game, I get the feeling she is a social mutant, one of those child prodigies, taken away from her family at an early age and forced to a life of rigorous golf training, home school, and no TV.

She's the female Todd Marinovich, only successful and minus the drug habit.

I'm probably wrong. She's probably just an average girl who turned out to be a really good golfer. That's no fun.

Jobber: Matt Jones

"I'm Matt Jones, the rock-n-roll wide receiver. I do cocaine!"

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones was arrested early Thursday morning in Arkansas on felony drug charges, which includes cocaine possession.

In his NFL career, Jones, a first-round pick, has been a major disappointment. The converted quarterback finished 2007 with 24 receptions for 317 yards and four touchdowns.

College Football Preview: 8 - Oklahoma

College football preseason rankings, in our opinion, don't mean squat. Every year, four or five teams fail miserably to live up to expectations and two or three teams, like Kansas and Missouri last season, come out of nowhere and compete for the national title. Wanting to contribute to useless preseason hype, Jobbed and Frustrated will produce its first preseason college football rankings, starting with the top ten teams in the country.
__________________________
# 8 - Oklahoma

Since 2000, Oklahoma, thanks to Bob Stoops, has been a fixture in the top 10. With top ten rankings comes BCS bowls. As the picture shows, Oklahoma's season, which used to be defined with a win against rival Texas, has been reduced to humiliating BCS bowl losses. Can the 2008 Sooners break the string of post-season losses, which include a trashing at the hands of a depleted, post-Rich Rodriguez West Virginia squad in the 2008 Fiesta Bowl, the embarrassing loss to trick-play, mid-major Boise State in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, and the legendary beat down at the hands of USC in the 2005 Orange Bowl?

The 2007 Sooners were a weird team; with a freshman quarterback, they beat Missouri twice, but struggled with Texas Tech and Oklahoma State; they shut down the run in conference play, but watched Pat White run circles around them in the Fiesta Bowl. The 2008 team is looking for Constancy. Will we see the juggernaut OU, which scores 60 points a game and holds the opponent to negative yardage, or post-season OU, which plays uninspired, uncharacteristic ball? Who knows.

Prediction: First place in the Big 12 South - plays Missouri in the conference championship game.

Roma signs veteran big man Fucka.

College Football Preview: 9 - Texas

College football preseason rankings, in our opinion, don't mean squat. Every year, four or five teams fail miserably to live up to expectations and two or three teams, like Kansas and Missouri last season, come out of nowhere and compete for the national title. So, wanting to contribute to useless preseason hype, Jobbed and Frustrated will produce its first preseason college football rankings, starting with the top ten teams in the country.

#9 - Texas

After struggling, by Texas standards, to a 10-3 record in 2007, coach Mack Brown made a few changes on the coaching staff. On the offensive side of the ball, former UT QB and Alabama offensive coordinator Major Applewhite was named assistant head coach / running backs. Defensively, Brown needed a man who could strike fear into the hearts of everyone, including ruthless criminals, the mentally impaired, and the Amish. Brown found his man: former Auburn defensive coordinator Will Muschamp.

Rarely does a coaching move, especially one regarding an assistant, make headlines. But Muschamp is no ordinary coach. Known for his intensity and foul language, which was captured on live television against Arkansas last season, Muschamp gets results wherever he goes. As a first time defensive coordinator in 2002, he won a national championship with LSU; as an assistant under Nick Saban in 2004, he directed the defensive of the Miami Dolphins; for the past two seasons, calling the shots on the Plains with Auburn, he terrorized the SEC with multiple coverages, fronts, and blitz packages. With Muschamp calling the shots, Texas instantly gets better on the defensive side of the ball.

Yes, Colt McCoy returns for his third year as a starter. Yes, they have a ton of talent on the offensive side of the ball. So, they have little experience on the defensive side of the ball. I don't care. I just want to hear Muschamp drop f bombs and lay people out.

Jobbed: Jerry Hairston

In a 7-3 loss to the Cubs Tuesday night in Chicago, Reds shortshop Jerry Hairston Jr was robbed of three hits. Thanks to Jim Edmonds, who made yet another acrobatic highlight reel catch in the first inning, and two diving stops by third baseman Aramis Ramirez in the third and seventh, Hairston finished the game 0 - 4.

No Homo

Work worthy of a Pulitzer, Deadspin uncovers a new phrase making its way through NFL locker rooms: "No Homo."

Seriously, I can't explain it. You just have to read the article.

If nothing else, read the user comments. My favorite comes from DannyNoonan (what a great name), who says, "Kordell Stewart: Vince, you've got great hips. /Homo" For those of you scratching your head over this comment, I must refer you to this, a graphic re-telling of Kordell's now infamous 'I'm not gay - don't leave your girl around me' speech to his Steeler teammates in 2000.

College Football Preview: 10 - Texas Tech

College football preseason rankings, in our opinion, don't mean squat. Every year, four or five teams fail miserably to live up to expectations and two or three teams, like Kansas and Missouri last season, come out of nowhere and compete for the national title. So, wanting to contribute to useless preseason hype, Jobbed and Frustrated will produce its first preseason college football rankings, starting with the top ten teams in the country.

__________________________

#10 - Texas Tech

This is not a type-o. Returning 19 of 22 starters, including 10 of 11 on offense, the Red Raiders, who finished 2007 with a 9-4 record, look to compete not only for a Big 12 title, but also for the national title.

Offense: Head coach Mike Leach, when he's not studying pirates, the Kennedy assassination, or Santa Anna, dissects Big 12 defenses through the air. Armed with sophomore wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who won the Biletnikoff Award, given annually to the nation's top receiver, and senior quarterback Graham Harrell, who follows Kliff Kingsbury and Sonny Cumbie as scrubs-turned-studs under Leach, the Red Raiders are poised to unleash their most explosive offense in a decade - staggering when you look at their 2007 numbers: Harrell threw for 5,705 yards and 48 touchdowns; Crabtree caught 134 passes for 1,962 yards, and 22 touchdowns.

Defense: Everyone knows Texas Tech can - and will - score points. The fate of the Red Raiders season falls squarely on the defense, which returns 9 of 11 starters on a unit that finished third in the Big 12 in total defense. If this unit can hold opponents under 30 points per game, Texas Tech should compete for the Big 12 South title.

With the exception of two tough road games (October 25 at Kansas and November 22 at Oklahoma), the Red Raiders face a fairly easy schedule (Texas at home on November 1; for the first two months of the season, their toughest test comes on the road at Nevada). If the Red Raiders can hold their own against the Big 12 South's elite, a BCS bowl is within reach.

Jobbed : Human Beings

Is Google making us stupid? That's the question asked by Nicholas Carr in the July/August 2008 Atlantic Monthly. Its a pretty lengthy read, but a great one nonetheless. And while giving you the bulletpoints of exactly what he's saying would defeat the entire purpose of his article, here's the most unsettling quote for me,

Sergey Brin and Larry Page, the gifted young men who founded Google while pursuing doctoral degrees in computer science at Stanford, speak frequently of their desire to turn their search engine into an artificial intelligence, a HAL-like machine that might be connected directly to our brains. “The ultimate search engine is something as smart as people—or smarter,” Page said in a speech a few years back. “For us, working on search is a way to work on artificial intelligence.” In a 2004 interview with Newsweek, Brin said, “Certainly if you had all the world’s information directly attached to your brain, or an artificial brain that was smarter than your brain, you’d be better off.” Last year, Page told a convention of scientists that Google is “really trying to build artificial intelligence and to do it on a large scale.”

The Matrix will come to be reality...and it will be named Google...awesome.

Jobber: Darrion Scott

Free-Agent defensive linemen Darrion Scott pleaded guilty today to child endangerment after putting a plastic bag over the head of his two-year old son. He will be sentenced July 24. Scott, who played in three games for the Vikings last season, faces a year in prison and a $3,000 fine.

It’s safe to say Scott, a former Ohio State Buckeye, will remain a free-agent...Or he'll sign with the Bengals, Raiders, or Cowboys.

Jobber: Robert Correia

Congrats Boston, you are now second to only Philly when it comes to having the biggest douchebag fans. While most of us were celebrating America's birthday by watching fireworks, and rejoicing in the fact that we're lucky to live here, Robert Correia and a few of his buddies decided to celebrate in a different way.

Mr.Correia and Co. decided to surround a car stuck in traffic from a fireworks show, and drag the driver out of the vehicle. They then proceeded to beat the driver in the head with a baseball bat while his family watched in horror. Why the beating you may ask ? The driver had a novelty New York Yankees license plate displayed on his vehicle.

Eager to show off the lack of social progression in the New England area, the group was heard uttering lines such as "Not in our house !" and "Don't bring that weak sauce in here !" Correia has been charged with numerous felonies (shocker), and it is believed that there are more arrests to come.

Jobber: Joey Chestnut

Move over Magic and Bird. A new rivalry has emerged in the field of competitive eating: Chestnut versus Kobayashi.

In an gruesome display of gluttony, Joey Chestnut (pictured) won his second straight Nathan's Fourth of July Hot Dog Eating Contest by defeating Takeru Kobayashi, who won six consecutive championships from 2000 through 2006.

After wolfing down 59 dogs in ten minutes, the contestants went to a five dog eat-off (Overtime in competitive eating! You gotta love it!). Chestnut, who fought off the urge to vomit multiple times, pushed through to retain his crown.

Think about the bodily damage Chestnut and Kobayashi just willingly inflicted upon themselves; two human beings - if they classify as human beings - just destroyed more food in 15 minutes than some kid in Darfur will eat in a lifetime.

The Food Network put together a riveting profile of Chestnut, including his training program and previous eating titles.

DC Sports Bog chronicled Michael Wardian's quest to run the world's fastest treadmill marathon. He failed.

Jobber: White WVU Rappers

Rappers have the habit of stealing / sampling others musicians work. Some are done tastefully (Kayne), others are done disgracefully (Diddy).

This video is old, but IT MUST BE SHOWN.

These hoodlums, one of them featuring a Lou Holtz like lisp (it sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles), created a WVU highlight film with a sampling of John Denver's Country Roads. They've done the middle finger state good, y'all. What's next, a Marshall video sampling Leaving on a Jet Plane?

If you had to pick one SEC football coach that would fall out of a boat into a raging river and then swim his way to shore, who would it be? One of the three super intense yellers and screamers, Les Miles, Urban Meyer, or Nick Saban? Maybe one of the silent and effective coaches, like 165 pound Tommy Tuberville, Houston Nutt, Mark Richt, or the stoic Sly Croom?

(Phil Fulmer, we all know he's too hefty to swim; Bobby Petrino, never short on confidence, would tell you, as the Messiah, he can walk on water; the only water Steve Spurrier would fall into would be at a golf course; and Vanderbilt coach Bobby Johnson has probably figured out the physics to avoid capsizing.)

All wrong.

Kentucky head coach Rich Brooks, 66, was aboard a small vessel on the McKenzie River in Oregon when a strong wind capsized the boat. Brooks and three others were thrown into the river. Brooks, who led the Wildcats to their most successful season in years, swam to a gravel bar for safety.
